    Spam in my Private Message Box

    I just received a spam message sent to my forum profile's private message box. Has someone hacked this forum?

    I'm checking into it. It's got me puzzled too. Sorry.

      It appears an old account from 2007 was compromised and a lot of people got it. We'll get it cleaned out today.

            I think Aruba is a popular place for the bank accounts for those types of things; you trying to tell us something Bruce?

                  LOL, I just discovered I have a third forum user account. Must have been one of those Sybil moments. I was reminded I had it when I got an email notification that someone had tried and failed to log in to it.

                    Not sure if it is related, but today I got a notification from the Forums that someone had tried 5x to access my forum account unsuccessfully from an IP address in China. I am concerned that someone is poking around Miva looking for a way in.

                      Yeah these happen occasionally. They specifically go after lots of accounts to hack the forums.
